Our Ethos
We are committed to providing a friendly, fascinating, and fun home-from-home nursery experience, one that reflects the love, care, and attention your child receives at home.
From the moment children walk through our doors, they are valued as individuals. They have a voice, are listened to, and are encouraged to express themselves freely, allowing their unique personalities to grow and shine.
Our homely rooms, combined with our beautiful woodland grounds, offer endless opportunities for play, discovery, and exploration. These unique environments are carefully designed to spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and support every aspect of children’s development.
We believe in giving children the time they need—to play, to laugh, and to explore the world around them. Through meaningful experiences, they are supported to problem-solve, make decisions, and develop a deep understanding of themselves and others.
In doing so, we nurture confidence, independence, resilience, and respect—laying the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.
Our Story
After 25 incredible years of nurturing and inspiring young children, we are proud to be entering our 26th year with a beautiful new rebrand. This marks an exciting new chapter for our nursery—one that reflects our growth, our values, and our vision for the future.
Nick and Nicky founded Bracken Place in July 2000, and over 25 years later, they are very much at the heart of the nursery, and actively involved in daily life and activities. Now joined by their daughter Laura, the nursery remains a true family-led setting, built on passion, dedication, and a shared vision.
This rebrand marks an exciting new chapter for the family and while our look has evolved, our passion for providing exceptional care and early years education remains at the heart of everything we do. We are so proud of our journey so far and grateful to all the families who have been part of it.
